If I try to do a search of the forum using my GTab I "lose" the keyboard, I click on the "Search this Forum" box and a small search box pops up right under it, when I click on that box my keyboard pops up and then disappears immediately so I can't even enter text, what is going on???
Hi,
That's a kind of known problem (funny, huh ?). When you get the dropdown, press the "Advanced Search" link, and then search from there. It's kind of inconvenient, but it's the only way I found to search XDA forums with a browser on Gtab.

I have the same issue. The only solution I have found is to click on the "Advanced Search" at the bottom of the search box and put in your search terms using that instead. A bit of a pain but at least it will give you the ability to search.
Just a suggestion, look at the Tapatalk app, works great.
OP, I'm so glad you asked this question....I thought it was just me!

I am running WM6 and would like to know if there is a way to hide or remove the start menu title or window title so it doesn't show the "Start" text or title of programs on the task bar?
Much thanks for any help!
Check HERE.
Also using the xda search revealed a number of threads concerning same topic.
good day.

Thanks chopper! I just tried this and it works, but only hides the start menu text and not the title of running programs.
Cool.
Now search for your other conquest. You may have to word it in many different ways.
good day.
Just wondering, what search terms did you use to come across that file? This might help me on my voyage!
"remove start text on windows mobile task bar"
just didn't see anything on running program text. Maybe someone will roll along and say whether it is doable or not.
good day.

That's okay. I have not come across a solution either! Perhaps I should ask about how to hide the title of running programs in the "modifying and unlocking" section. At least the start text is gone now, thank you very much for your help chopper!
Tip: The search search bar all the way at the top of the site is a "sitewide" search.
I missed that detail for a while.
Have a liitle fun here.... see ya around.
good day.
I searched a bit and haven't found anything so thought I'd post. Something that is annoying is that I can't use the search function on any forum site with the phone browser, all that happens when I click the search on a forum website is the text input pops up then right away disappears. Is there a fix for this or can some developer attempt to fix this problem? I'm sure I'm not the only one that this bothers

Can't speak for other forums, but for XDA just hit "advanced search" I do it all the time.

Thanks that works, but is a bit more complicated. Will have to work for now but would be nice if the normal search worked too.

I just use Google and the "site:" tag. For example: Nexus themes site:forum.xda-developers.com
I've been meaning to post this for sometime now.
When i want to search for something on xda forums using my xoom, i click the search bar, then click the text box. no sooner does my keyboard pop up that its gone. therefore I am unable to type or search anything.
I am using the stock keyboard of EOS ICS 1.0.0.0 but it as always happened even when i was on stock 3.2.
is it a problem with forums or something i can fix. it only happens with xda, all the other forums i use like, msfn, android forums, xoomforum, ipmart, htc the search function works fine. Fortunately i still have a laptop so can do searches on there

Have noticed this since April of last year. The other day I tried again with all the browsers I have installed on my WiFi ICS Xoom: built in, Chrome beta, Firefox, & Dolphin HD. Same old, same old. If I want to search I have to leave the tablet and find my laptop. Usually the extra effort keeps me from diddling around
Pretty sure the last time I checked into this it didn't matter which site version I enable for XDA - same problem. Heck, I also remember I couldn't even log in and stay logged in. No idea about that status of that issue.

Same thing happens to me on my xoom as well as my Galaxy S2.
If i'm on either of these, I click on the 'search this forum' drop down tool bar, but I don't click on the text box as that pulls up the keyboard resulting in the drop down going away again.
When the search tool bar drops down, instead of the text box, click on 'Advanced Search' option just below it, this lets you enter your search term on a separate page. (You don't have to fill in the advanced sections).
It's a bit long-winded but has the desired affect without having to fire up your PC/Laptop.
It happens to me as well. I just click on the advanced search and search that way. Chrome Beta is the only mobile browser where the search function works correctly on XDA...at least that I'm aware of.
Anyone tried reporting this to the Admins?

It has a better chance of being fixed if one of the site admins see's it.

Thanks. This works for me till a better fix comes along.
uhm... i can't find search in the upper right anymore, i mean the "search thread" tool?
do you know where to find/it did go?
geri
Wondering the same thing here. Wanted to "search this forum". Guess they moved it to the app instead of copying it.
Wow, I thought I was loosing my mind...so others don't see it as well
It's a bug that admin are aware of and are looking into.

Not a very good option for someone who is having problems with there phone/device. I'm glad I checked here I though I thought they had dissabled it for me because I was under the 10 post limit
Iether way it is still missing for me as well. I also noticed that the advanced search is not allowed for me either... I end up with the welcome new user you need 10 helpfull posts to use this feature page.
Did they up the restrictions for "new users"?
thats an excellent question. I salute you for being different and actually asking it, rather than ignoring it like most of us.
Worst case scenario :
Use the xda app on ur PC via android emulator
THANKS if helpful

Same result here. I'm unable to search by http://forum.xda-developers.com/search.php or by clicking the wheel cog icon in the top header bar (Advanced Search). The regular search bar at the top just gives generic non forum results.
Can someone tell me how one normally limits a search to a specific forum? Should that be an option in the "Forum Tools" drop down menu?

No, the search option is right next to the "Forum Tools" button you said before, on the left side. Or at least, it should be there..
Nothing at the moment, no tools for searching the forum. Someone told us to use the xda app on android but afaik its search function ain't working at all.
Now it is back, for me at least, and from work where I use IE8.
I'll see from home (Chrome)...
"Searching has been disabled." it says to me on this forum....
Why can't I search?? Is this only for my account or is it site wide??????
It's not limited to your user account, it's a site-wide issue. See a few threads further down in this subforum, or in About xda-developers.com.
XDA Admins are aware of the issue and working to resolve it.
I just tried the search and it's working for me...
Try it now and see if it works for you.
Still down for me =/ o well I'll just use the dread search bar
To me also it's disabled? Anything to do from my side?
I too am having this issue. It happens every time I click on advanced search or try to view my posts from my profile page. I can still use the thread search feature and the search bar in the xdadevelopers bar though.
Yeah I have tried mutliple browsers and can't search either no matter how I try.
Search Under Maintenance (Please Read)
If you would have checked the time on my post, you would see that I posted that before the announcement was up.
But yes, thank you for being the master of the obvious now.
So are the "search before posting" trolls out of a job?
